I'm hoping to hear that video support for mp4 format is soon to be patched/fixed/enhanced.
Can anyone confirm that google has solid video support (from local files, sdcard as well as streaming) in the near future roadmap? >From what I can tell, mp4 video support (or anything other than 3gp as far as I know) is either very spotty or non-existent. Note I'm not referring to audio at all. Yes, I know that the SDK claims video support and there is a thread with sample mediaplayer code (see below) but I haven't yet seen anyone successfully display mp4 video. Even the sample mediaplayer code posted by Megha Joshi (google) has a single response to it from someone saying he can't get actual video (only audio from the file). Sure enough, I've tried my own code, the sample code and at least two other people's code and only the audio works from multiple size and dimensions of test mp4 files. I want to be passionate about Android development but I'm a little discouraged right now. If I at least knew it was coming, I'd stay enthusiastic. But I'm even doubting my preorder of the G1s right now because it seems clear that they aren't committing to any video features (none on the phone other than youtube 3gp and only streaming... no local video file support at all). I heard Sprint is planning "other features" for their upcoming phone. Is video support an "other feature"? Can I assume that the G1 may never have it or is it simply an SDK issue and it will be fixed somewhat soon? Sorry for the rant, if you know anything, I'm anxious to hear it. http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/msg/b9e2324914a50a92 http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/8d90bc4351d5ab48/71bd55e7f3149db5 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
